Swedish actor Per Oscarsson and his wife were feared dead after human remains were discovered among the ashes of their burned home. Oscarsson, 83, and his wife, 67, were both believed to have been home when their house near the small town of Skara, Sweden, burned to the ground overnight Thursday.
He won Best Actor at the 1966 Cannes film festival for playing the lead role as Pontus in Henning Carlsen’s “Hunger”, and most recently he played a part in the screen version of the cult “Millennium” crime trilogy by late Swedish author Stieg Larsson.
The cause of the fire was unclear.
